The holidays are over and I am still struggling to get back on track. We had a family member with Alzheimer’s move in with us temporarily. Feisty, our favorite Muscovy duck, was attacked by a hawk right in front of us. She’s certainly lived up to her name – battling aspergillosis several times, now rallying from this attack. It’s not an easy recovery; she’s had daily injections of antibiotics, irrigation of her wounds, anti-inflamatories to soothe her throat (which was nearly punctured), and her vision is still blurry (there was a puncture behind her left eye). She doesn’t give up and neither will we.

Have a great week!
